Cincinnati-Two Lives Possibly Lost.
Special the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
CINCINNATI, July 4-William Sticktenoth's
malt-house was totally destroyed by fire to-
night. The building is six stories high and ex-
tends from the corner of Clay nearly to Walnut
on Twelfth street. It is reported that two men
were buried under falling walls, but this lacks
confirmation. A man whose name could not be
learned was seriouly injured by jumping from
an upper window of the building. He was
taken to the City Hospital for treatment.
The east wall, when it FELL damaged three
houses the opposite side of Clay street The
south wall crashed through the stable of the
Banner Brewing Company, adjoining, srd in
few seconds it looked as though the immense
brewery establishment was doomed but the
flames were soon extinguished.
The entire fire department was on hand and
their energies were directed toward saving
valuable property in close proximity to the malt
house. The fire originated from sky rocket
which lodged in the tower. TIE loss will prob
ably exceed 800, 900.
The man who jumped from the window has
since died from the injuries he received. His
identity has not yet been established.
An old man named Nicholas Roose is buried
under the debris on Clay street Search is now
being made for the body.

He says President Cleveland owes him 5000, 000,-
